Elon Musk Opens Up About His Son’s Death
“My firstborn son died in my arms. I felt his last heartbeat” – Elon Musk
Those were the words that Elon shared with James Riley via email correspondence in 2018 after James lost his son Barrett in an accident involving a Tesla.
Barrett was driving a Tesla Model S on May 8, 2018, when he lost control at 116 miles per hour and crashed into a concrete wall of a house in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
The Model S was engulfed in flames claiming the lives of Barrett Riley and his friend who was sitting in the passenger seat.
It’s one of the very rare occasions that Elon has publicly spoken about the death of his firstborn child and son, Nevada Alexander Musk.
Elon and Justine divorced in 2008, 8 years after being married.
She recounts how she felt like a trophy wife with not much say in the marriage.
Elon was obsessed with his work so much so that when he was home, his mind was still elsewhere.
Though she longed for deep and heartfelt conversations, for intimacy and empathy, she was met by the harsh reality of a busy rich husband.
They had tried to go for counselling but after one month and three sessions later, Elon gave his wife an ultimatum:
Either we fix this marriage today or I will divorce you tomorrow.
According to Justine Musk, her husband implied that the status quo worked for him and so he figured it should have worked for her as well.
Elon Musk filed for divorce the next morning and this left her feeling numb but strangely relieved.
